code of conduct pledge

Events. We all attend them. Some are more fun than others.That's normal.

What is not normal? Misconduct and harassment.

An event that happened during a meetup in November 2017, led us to put together this website and to ask the community to take the pledge to add a code of conduct to their event's website, as well as ensure that attendees, speakers and organisers work together to foster an inclusive and fun learning environment.
